NetSetMan's Tray-Info (that appears when the cursor is pointing at the icon in the tray bar) is a very popular feature, because it provides details about the currently connected networks without a single click. Now this feature becomes even more powerful and handy.

Simply open up the program preferences and adjust the Tray-Info to your needs!

This version introduces some long awaited features that allow managing driver-specific LAN/NIC settings. NetSetMan automatically recognizes the manufacturer and driver characteristics, so most common network devices are supported.

If the setting is embedded in a special panel, tab or dialog, then only its official driver can access it.
